Lewis & Clark Library - Helena, MT

Renowned Northern Pacific photographer F. Jay Haynes followed the construction of the transcontinental railroad as it worked its way across the Montana Territory, capturing the landscapes on his journey. For 20 years, Haynes documented railroad construction, town and rural growth, the development of industrial mining, Yellowstone National Park, and anything else that would promote the advancing Northern Pacific Railroad and entice newcomers to visit, and move to, this vast new land.
Join Montana Historical Society photograph archives manager Jeff Malcomson as he shares dozens of Haynes images in this outstanding presentation.
